It is not actually "logarithmic" per se.

At a given level of adaptation the relation between luminance and perceived lightness is closer to a square root.

But over the course of about 30 minutes there are several different kinds of adaptations (some faster than that) which the eye/brain can make to the current light level, which has an effect of shifting that curve up or down by up to several orders of magnitude.
All those small wins fuel buzz / conversation, and likely increase participation.
Basically, the mother determines which side of the egg is "up" by adding chemicals to one side. From there on many different gradients of proteins and chemicals form, which pattern embryos into subsections of more and more detail.

Personally, I'm buying in the money puts expiring in 2023. No way Gamestop is doing better now, or has a better future now, than it did five or ten years, yet their stock's at an all time high? These hijinks may continue for some time, but I doubt it'll last years, price will settle and I'll hopefully make a modest profit.
I think you have something there, but I don't think its about knowing what to do its about being interested in telling that story. I feel like it takes a lot of skill to write a story about a wealthy/successful person and prevent the audience from going "boo-hooo, poor you in your mansion". But its not like it can't be done, in fact I would have to plug both Breaking Bad and The Wire here. Both the shows go beyond the point where the initial characters achieved success in what they wanted to do. Both shows did it by expanding their universe of characters and topics. BB added more dangerous men Heisenberg can go against and The Wire started looking at the same problem from several angles (political, financial, etc). The last season even shows what a successful drug lord does.

I don't like silicon valley either, and its precisely the same issue. They are laser focused on some characters and thus suffer from it.
u/DeepFuckingValue gave his DD, did his analysis and figured out the play. The fact that the shorts shorted 140% of the shares is their fault and nothing to do with insider information, it is all public, except of course for the blatant market manipulation by the same hedge funds, the naked short selling, the ladder naked shortselling, controlling the narrative, all the things people with billions in capital can and will do.

> Faced with a disheveled African-American man cradling a parachute and telling a cockamamie story like that (he had just bailed from a crashing B-52), the sentries did exactly what you might expect a pair of guards in 1961 rural North Carolina to do: They arrested Mattocks for stealing a parachute.
Gordon and Donna were both excellent engineers. However whereas Gordon got a decent job as an engineer without much effort (assumed anyway as we begin the show with him already working as one) the same is not true for Donna who is 'stuck' in a more admin role being somewhat ignored by her boss and at times belittled clearly because she is female.

The main difference between Gordon and Donna is that she has a lot more 'drive' than he. Gordon was happy to settle as being 'just an engineer' hacking away on circuit boards and such whereas Donna always dreamed of more which we see with her character development over the seasons into business management and investment.

There are a few moments where Donna shows more 'outside the box' thinking in solving a problem such as space saving in the laptop they are designing for Cardiff, however I don't think that is enough to say she was superior to Gordon. I always saw them as equals in terms of technical ability but with Donna having ideas far beyond being an engineer whereas Gordon had that 'kid at heart' personality and would quickly lose interest in the higher level managerial aspects. Cameron's character was very similar to Gordon in that respect.

Breaking it down the four main characters have some very interesting overlap. Even Joe had good technical ability but was clearly the more 'visionary' character who used his technical understanding to try new things and push forward into new waters.
Not sure that's a pro if your use case is just a platform for long running compute intensive jobs. The platform's goals may diverge even more from yours in the future, if a cloud provider's use case is the cause for a big rewrite for example.

A small part of said inertia is perhaps the CADT model of software development in action up close, where functionality can be redeveloped multiple times because someone is not satisfied with the outcome.

EEA has all the laws and requirements of the EU but without representiation. So they have to follow the laws and rules but don't have a voice in the rules.

Then you don't have to. tmux is cool, but if you don't _continue working from where you left_ you're fine re-opening 2-3 terminals, or use workspaces for that.

I like tmux because I can launch a tmux session inside a project with shell/vim/loaded-secrets/etc and then just attach to that session and keep working without reloads.

Another tool I use heavily is "direnv".
I have similar thoughts here. It’s almost like we don’t need to AI we just need the I. What you have described is a fairly straightforward pattern that seems like it could be expressed by looking at the same period (ago) to see if it’s acting roughly right.

It reminds me of a chat I had with a customer in their slack. They wanted build and deploy notifications but only if a build didn’t happen on a day at an expected time. They don’t want 700 notifications a day, it creates a deafness to the signal. The request was comically difficult.
Sorry, I meant benefit of EEA over EU membership.

Another (unlikely, but possible) market exploit is that a large enough supplier could intentionally encourage the existence of lower-quality manufacturers, allowing them to gain trust from consumers who wish to buy (what they believe should be) quality, durable products.
Alright, it does help with the holding. Still, it misses the point that unless you get the people in your local economy to adopt it, you still need to withdraw it to use it.

Ask HN: How do you handle (financial) regret?
A while back I quit a startup because I was unhappy with how management handled a number of situations and I didn't see any signs of that changing for the better.

Fast forward a year and the company is thriving, and I realise that I have foregone a massive financial opportunity in terms of compensation.

I think the original decision was fundamentally sound then, but it's very difficult to let go of thinking "what if I had stayed".

I can't imagine I'm the only among HNers that have been in this situation.

How have you managed this internal conflict?

That depends on how much modularization the project has. If each platform is e.g just another file it isn't that much of the problem. They can just call that platform deprecated if they don't want to maintain it anymore but will be no issue keeping it.
One more question, do you think it’s like this in every major white country or do you think US dropped the ball on this one? I’m curious about how Americans see the world. I won’t have any follow up comments, I promise.
> Firefox is there, it's being maintained, and you can use it. Many people do. Blanket stating that that is not an option is kind of weird.

I use Firefox every day. The author tries to make it sound like the old days where a lot of websites simply didn't work without IE (for instance, because they needed ActiveX exposing the internals of your OS). I never run into Chrome-only sites. Heck, it's 2021 and I regularly use Firefox to run Office 365 on Linux.
For Norway the reason is fish. Since they're not in the EU, they don't have to allow others access to fish in their waters.
You can run ccmake or cmake-gui to inspect and change the configure options interactively (either in the terminal via ccmake, or in a "proper" UI application via cmake-gui).

Teamgroup preps first DDR5 SODIMM for notebooks
When the Pandora was made, it was mostly a group of enthusiasts who wanted an open device to play retro games on that wasn't quite satisfied with the offerings back then. (I think it was also GPD who offered some retro consoles?)
So this was the main reason for that, but it took really long to come out, and while it was great, not least to the great community and their support, it was very niche, already a bit long in the tooth technically and maybe not as open as some had hoped.

I think they started plan for the pyra pretty soon after that, if memory serves, to improve on the pandoras shortcomings.

These days, I really don't know why anyone would still want this. The form factor is great (Though the pandora did have production issues surrounding the case, not sure if they are ironed out), but retro games consoles are everywhere and you can buy SBCs for pocket change. And as others have pointed out, at the price this thing costs there are pretty good subnotebooks available again at the moment.

So while I really don't know who wants this in 2021, If the could get you say a shell for a raspberry pi or similar in this form factor for a much more reasonable price, I would absolutely be on board myself.

What does firefox do in terms of UX innovation? Ant they certainly don't seem to be pumping that money into the under-the-hood components either, seeing how they still haven't managed to get @property working.

Multi-tab containers is definitely a super useful UX innovation which I've been using for years and surprised why other browsers are slow to pick it up. I'm not sure I actually want any of the above listed features in my browser but I'll be happy to be convinced.

Reader mode which I use regularly -- other browsers either don't have it or it's a worse implementation.
And while there are ways to implement ASS in the browser, those require compiling the one single ASS library that actually works (because it’s an implementation-defined format, ofc) to WASM and running that in the browser. With the expected performance issues.

> Grindr is now relying on a new consent system and alleged "legitimate interest" to use data without user consent. This is in conflict with the decision of the Norwegian DPA, as it explicitly held that "any extensive disclosure ... for marketing purposes should be based on the data subject’s consent".

This "legitimate interest" shenanigans is coming up more and more often, where you have a modal with lots of options to opt in to specific forms of tracking which. Most of those are now off by default, as it should be, except that if you scroll down you still see a number of "legitimate interest" ones enabled, even though you can turn them off manually.

Edit: And worst of all is this very confusing pattern with two columns of toggle buttons, one of which concerns "legitimate interest": https://toot.cafe/@peter/105367185171860458
The impact comes from Grindr being responsible for the collected data, obviously just handing that data to a third party to do whatever is not responsible handling of it.

Grindr actually distributed data from persons that had opted-out, reasoning that setting a flag should stop the down-stream processors from touching the data. That is literally the gossip girl using the the "don't tell anyone this" principle of privacy protection!

You're still complaining about floats, and now JavaScript, neither of which is relevant to JSON. JSON is perhaps named poorly, but it merely "was inspired by the object literals of JavaScript" (quoting the spec) - there is no reference implementation, and it is defined by spec.

I also don't really see what alternative you're implying. If you want a human-readable format, but need to express non-integer numbers, what do you suggest we should do?
YARWAP – a very early roaming wireless access point (with streamed media) [pdf]
But tablets and touch screens were out way before Apple released anything. Apple makes things pretty therefore it creates mass adoption. Aesthetics is not a tech advancement.

A remote workforce uses Skype, a laptop and the internet. As far as I can tell these have been around for years.

Cloud computing is marketing lingo for shared servers OR if you have the budget your own dedicated server. Nothing new by any means.

It sounds like you agree with my realization which is that we need to get the most out of the existing tech rather than moving onto something new and shiny.
Because the cartesian product of options quickly explodes and you're suddenly managing 256 targets or makefiles (though even in Make there's a better way to handle this, though it's made painful by the syntax). It's very common for larger pieces of software to have 30-50 different configuration options for building.

Might this be the first generation where ecc is a mandatory feature? Or are they going to bin these memory kits again?
That's why so far best idea is to go bare metal with couple of different providers and sync data to multiple servers. In case one provider decides to cancel you, you can still have your data in another place. You can also have a copy at your own server. To have access to all machines as if they were on a local network, you can use tinc-vpn or for convenience ZeroTier.

Sadly, for me, it is too expensive. It is 240 euros per year for a family of 6.

For comparison, the same plan in Google One costs 120 euros per year. Same for Office 365.

If they did 120 euros per year for the family pack I will migrate to them because I like Dropbox better at syncing.

I do sometimes laugh at the naïvety of some here. Sorry, what? There is no value of actually securing systems here? It is frustrating to know that in real life, some developers are not really concerned about the security of their dev machines.

Try to install Android Studio (make sure to initialise it!) or Eclipse on your system and tell me where it put its executables. Go and indulge in the horror that your local adb binary can be replaced silently without your knowledge. When most mobile operating systems are designed to isolate components together, we collectively are hindering effective security by allowing these low-hanging fruit on our systems.

Sorry but often I just see countless developers that are not that concerned about security and then ask themselves why are users irresponsible about security.

> I never understood the concept of "optional" library.

Consider a scientific software, let's call it x. x can solve many problems and these problems cross-cut a lot of disciplines.

A researcher, user of x has a need for only subset of these features, and configures & compiles x with the features only he/she needs. This has many advantages from simpler setup to shorter build to easier verification.

When you're compiling software on remote, restricted systems; these optional components makes people's life a lot easier. Also, esp. in scientific community, every library needs something lower level so, trying to compile everything in results in exponential dependency hikes. Optional components solve this very neatly.

Any part of nazi ideology should be forbidden in any way, shape, or form.

As to how to recognize it, I think it's easy for humans to do so. And how do we train computers to recognize it? Well, if we can teach it to recognize cars, bikes, etc from photos I'm sure extremist ideology shouldn't be impossible to achieve with some helping hands from people.

And besides, as I said in another comment. I don't have all the answers, just like I don't have an answer on how to teach computers to recognize X in photos flawlessly, but I think this is something we should start working on.
